“We are so pleased we’ve found Catherine! Our Labrador puppy really enjoyed her stay and was made to feel very at home. We had regular updates with pictures and felt very relaxed on our mini break knowing our pup was being so well looked after.”
2. Erin S.
“I can highly recommend Erin, she was wonderful with my dog. It was a huge relief to find someone last minute that I could trust. I visited a couple of days before so our dogs could meet, which was really reassuring. Erin had my dog for a week and sent pics regularly of all the wonderful walks she took her on. Her dog was absolutely lovely too. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a lovely time. Thank you!”

6. Charlie G.
“Relaxed caring young couple made a perfect temporary home for our slightly quirky, lazy Frenchie. A nearby green was ideal for his daily short walks. One partner was permanently at home with our dog and sent regular updates and photos of our beloved Frenchie. Money well spent!”
7. Jude B.
“Jude was absolutely brilliant with our anxious poodle, Charlie. She came and met him before and asked great questions to get a good idea of his needs. It was our first time leaving him with someone outside our home and Jude made us feel really comfortable. She sent regular updates and photos, gave him his medication and was brave enough to take him on some adventures! Charlie was clearly a very happy boy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Jude 😊”

11. Kim R.
“Kim was wonderful from start to finish. We had a lengthy conversation about my dog, Maya, and her needs and temperament, as we were too far away for a meet and greet to be possible. Kim was friendly, caring, sent me updates of Maya, with photos and was extremely helpful in helping me to plan our holiday plans so we could drop off and collect Maya easily with a caravan in tow. Thanks so much Kim. We will certainly use you again in the future and highly recommend others to choose you.”
12. Julie P.
“Julie was great with Dexter, She opened up her entire home to him and spoilt him rotten. He loved staying with her and I left knowing that he was in good hands. Fantastic kind hearted lady who loves dogs Will definitely use Julie's services in the future for dexter or maybe one of my other dogs”

“Angela knows a lot about all breeds of dogs and she understood our needy cocker spaniel very well! Angela has a lovely, cosy dog friendly home and she loves the countryside, so your dog will be guaranteed lots of fun and attention.”
16. Morgan W.
“Morgan was great with Daisy and really put my mind at ease. Morgan was happy to do a meet and greet first before I confirmed and booked, she asked lots of questions and was happy to answer mine. I got an update whilst Daisy was with her which was nice as I knew Daisy was relaxed. Daisy seemed to enjoy her stay and I will definitely be using Morgan again for some future dates.”
17. Sandie B.
“Sandie looked after our Labrador Luna for 2 weeks and she couldn’t have been in better hands. Luna was treated as part of the family and she had a great time with Sandie and the other dogs. She may even have come back slightly better behaved! Luna was still recovering from an op and Sandie took great care of her so we were able to relax and not worry about Luna.”
18. Beatrice T.
“Our dog has always gone into kennels , he’s a shy sensitive soul and on his last visit he was visibly traumatised . I had always had reservations about sending him to a private home , but after his recent stay with Beatrice I wish I’d done it years ago , she visited him at our home and we dropped him off for a short stay ,it was obvious she was someone who understood animals and Dexter was at ease immediately, he will be going no where else from now on , I just wish I’d found her years ago , thank you Beatrice xx”
19. Jennie C.
“Jennie often looks after our dog Murphy in her welcoming home and her children are so good with him, playing games all day to keep him entertained. Murphy is always excited to visit!”
20. Jasmine T.
“Jasmine looked after our 12 year old dog during our wedding day. I've never used a sitter before so I was quite anxious! Jasmine popped by beforehand though to meet us and had some cuddles with Yuuko, he seemed really at ease with her. She also stayed really late on the day until we got home. Very friendly, lovely person and it's good to know we can contact her if we need sitting again!”
